CHICAGO (Feb. 24, 2014) - Former U.S. Women's National Team
midfielder Kristine Lilly and U.S. Men's National Team forward Brian McBride
have been elected to the National Soccer Hall of Fame.
Joining the two former players in the Class of 2014 is former U.S. Men's
National Team and Major League Soccer head coach Bob Bradley on the Builder
Ballot.

Lilly,
one of the greatest soccer players in UNC history, starred on four NCAA
championship teams from 1989-92, winning National Player of the Year honors in 1990
and 1991. She played in only one loss
during her UNC career and led the Heels to four ACC championships while being
named a consensus first-team All-America.

Lilly,
the sport's all-time international caps leader, having played 352 games for the
United States between 1987 and 2010, and McBride, who starred in three FIFA
World Cups (1998, 2002 and 2006) for the U.S. MNT, are first-ballot Hall of
Fame inductees. Bradley enters the Hall of Fame after 13 years of coaching
soccer at the highest levels in the United States.

Lilly
enters the Hall of Fame after a 24-year international career that included
winning two of the five FIFA Women's World Cups in which she played. A two-time
Olympic gold medalist, Lilly played six seasons in domestic professional
leagues, including five for the Boston Breakers in the Women's United Soccer
Association and Women's Professional Soccer. Lilly continues to work in the
game as Director of the Kristine Lilly Soccer Academy and an instructor for
TeamFirst Soccer Academy.

"One
of the most humbling parts of this is being inducted with so many of the greats
that came before me," said Lilly. "It's always an honor to be
recognized for something you've done, especially for something we did for so
long on the U.S. team. It was amazing to wear that U.S. jersey for so long, and
I'm forever grateful for the time I was able to play and really grateful for
this honor."

Established in 1950, the National
Soccer Hall of Fame is dedicated to the sport of soccer in America by
celebrating its history, preserving its legacy, inspiring its youth and
honoring its heroes for generations to come.
